Been waiting on this announcement to drop ever since i missed the trip last year. Monte, I should be able to make one or more of these legs. I didn't know that the tight part on the Christina trail was right at the end. I can just stop there and hike the last bit. Are you camping up at Christina?

No, we will arrive in Lander, then go up to the Christina trail head, drive Christina lake, then camp at the trail head. The trail head is huge with lots of room plus the surronding area has lots of places too.

This is the trial head.

You will be able to leave your rig at the river or close to it and ride shotgun with someone. No need to walk! haha

we actually passed a jeep before crossing the river that was parked...or broke..not sure haha

Ill add you to the lurk list Travis!

haha monte you are really getting some interest here. Better turn out than last years lander meet I hope lol!

I hope that nothing gets in the way of me coming. Last year it was my stock-ness that kept me home, but this year that won't be an issue. But there were lots of interested people, but only 45acp made it. Looks like even more people following already this time. 3 spots for people to hop in/out is brilliant though.

You bastard. You know how to get me . . . All I need is pictures of beautiful WY and I'm ditching work to be there in a heartbeat haha (checks savings account, begins saving . . .)

COME TO DE COWBOY STATE!!

yes im actually glad you didn't come last year..woulda gone badly

Now it'll be fun!

And yea, im hoping this time some people can make parts of it at least..

Thanks for taking the time to read everything..i know its a lot of stuff! and some of it is just me rambling haha

WOW... cool thread! You shoulda told me about this!

You've seen my rig, how would you feel about mine taking on Leg 1 of the trip?

Worst case, I'll come by and either ride or take my dirtbike up... Not sure about my nerves of steel though...

I'll be too busy and my rig probably can't handle most of Legs 2 & 3... Plus, I'm not sure I can go that far right now, seeing as I want to try to do some other smaller trips to Glacier NP and Yellowstone and whatnot (for photography).

Oh, and if I come, count on some photos! That's what I do best! :P

yea man, well im sure ill invite you on some of my smaller local trips.

But Yes, your rig not ready for part 2 or 3

i think you could do 1 though if your up for the challenge of driving up the switch backs..

I am pretty sure anyone could do 1. I feel bad for the big double cabs that will have to try and make those tight turns though. When I went up a completely stock jeep was doing it and didnt seem to have to much trouble not sure if he made it all the way to the top though. There a few places he may have rubbed something twards the top.

Agreed. I think any stock rig can do Morrison. Just gonna take the balls to do it.

Goose lake..im not totally sure on, but i plan on running it before hand to know for sure.

Double cab long beds are gonna have issues i think on the corners for sure. They should have sliders and bumpers if possible.

Nice thread Monte. Sounds like a good plan overall. I do think adding kokopeli on to the end would be fun but I think I will be out of time by then. Maybe we can do the Dolores Triangle, Hole in the Rock and White Rim in 2014.
